The comedian writes on social media that the baby was born early Tuesday morning. He adds that the boy is "healthy & already smiling."

Hart and his wife, Eniko, announced on Mother's Day that she was expecting their first child. Hart has two children from a previous marriage.

In September, Hart publicly apologized to Eniko and his children for what he described as a "bad error in judgment." He said someone was trying to seek financial gain over his mistakes, and he'd rather confess than let that happen.
